Deformable Actuation

Deformable Actuation is a class of actuation mechanisms in medical soft robotics that enables controlled shape change and motion through intrinsic material compliance and distributed deformation, distinguishing itself from rigid, joint-based actuation by leveraging flexibility and continuum dynamics for safe, adaptive interaction with biological tissues.
